Back on the farm in Summer

Image
I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck. My 2017 Chevy 3500 HD service truck (with only 31k miles) is not my Tesla. I have grown very accustomed to the Tesla self-driving, navigation and general hi-tech luxury. The truck, although I am very fond of my truck, is stressful and expensive to drive compared to the Tesla. Being on the farm alone has been an eye opener. I had forgotten how quiet and in-nature this place is. Very occasionaly a car or plane comes by and disrupts the void, but only occasionally. It has been very reflective.

The new year is started off pretty well. I have to admit that parking my sports car in my hanger after I pull out the plane to go flying was a great experience.

I was in Tampa for a day or so, this week I will be in Detroit for the day. I finally got around to plotting the flight log from one of our flights in Hawaii. It was 174NM. Very memorable. I have been talking with some folks going on an Expedition to an Antarctica Island called Heard island. Very interesting. We are looking forward to and planning our party on March 8th in Duluth. It will be good to see people.
